Actually, just to clear things up, my server doesn't connect to your server (sure you where not reading it backwards?). The plugin connects to my webserver inorder to check for signature updates. The apache server appears to be having a few difficulties the last few days. I should probably finish the sockets code inorder to use timeouts. I have actually written a better perl version that uses the clamav database instead of my own signatures (22K+ sigs). As soon as I finish the module code for it, it will be released as the next version. It currently support my php scanner, a my perl scanner, clamav, and its simple to write modules to support just about any antivirus. I am also looking at supporting the scanning of attachments directly after uploading. Jimmy ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by OSTG.
